With the population aging at a higher rate than ever before, we recognized the need for products such as ours.  After surveying long term care facilities, we discovered a definite need to provide conveniences to nurses that would not only speed up med pass but provide quality, nutritional support to the residents as well.

We also know that long term care facilities are frequently visited by the Community of Medical Services (CMS), an organization that monitors the occurrences of Decubitis ulcers (among other things) and for that reason, these facilities are in need of time saving methods that can help the nursing staff become more effective and efficient in carrying out their responsibilities.  Decubi-Vite^® addresses this need. 

Bed sores can be a very distressing concern for family members of residents in long term care.  Products such as Decubi-Vite^® and DecubAmine^TM offer hospitals and nursing homes immediate evidence that specific measures are being taken to address the family’s concern for their loved one.

Decubi-Vite^® three in one was developed by our pharmacist (Brian Taffin) who saw a need for combining the basic protocol for nutritional supplementation during Decubitis therapy into one capsule for ease of swallowing and convenience of administration (i.e. med-pass).  By combining the three most commonly used dietary supplements used during wound therapy treatment into one capsule, certain elements of convenience and economies of scale become evident.

DecubAmine^TM was then introduced as a protein supplement with the added benefit of essential fatty acids, Arginine and Glutamine.  After searching the marketplace for an economical protein supplement that provided L-Arginine and L-Glutamine with the essential fatty acids necessary for complete cell development, we felt this was also an area that was lacking.  Once again, where most facilities will be using a protein supplement as well as a separate product for arginine or glutamine, we have combined the two and added the essential fatty acids to provide a product that will benefit the patients as well as the nurses, while keeping costs down.
